Cvs is part of the base system, hence no package is available. You have
to update via cvsup your source and then compile. What I suggest you is
to make a complete world and take your system up to RELENG_4, which is
4.8-STABLE now. Take care of the update process, as from 4.5 it involves
a great number of changes also in /etc/passwd. /usr/src/UPDATING is your
friend.


Ciao ciao
